Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has become the latest big name linked with a mega money move to China.

Rodgers, who was sacked by Liverpool earlier this season and replaced by Jurgen Klopp, has been working as a pundit since his dismissal from the Anfield club.

Despite being the current bookies favourite to replace Roy Hodgson as the England boss and current speculation linking him as a possible replacement for struggling Newcastle boss Steve McClaren, the Mirror claim Rodgers is being sounded out by clubs in China.

Having seen the likes of Alex Teixiera, Ramires and Jackson Martinez all ditch European football for a money-spinning move to the Far East, it is believed Beijing Guoan contacted Rodgers before hiring Italian coach Alberto Zaccheroni.

Despite passing on that move, it is thought that other big spending clubs in the Chinese top-flight are willing to spend heavily to bring in the Northern Irishman.
